VidyoConnect for Mobile: About Version 17.3.0

This app makes it easier for users to meet over video while on-the-go. In order to enjoy the full capabilities of the app, your organization must have a paid subscription to Vidyo’s cloud services or an on-premises portal deployment.

What's In This Release

The VidyoConnect mobile app lets you search for, join, and host multipoint video conferencing meetings from your iPhone®, iPad®, or Android device. Here are some of the key features you’ll enjoy with this app:

Join a conference room directly or join as a guest.

View shared meeting content during a video conference.

Customize your conferencing layout:

See up to four onscreen participants for phones.

See up to eight onscreen participants for tablets.

Make a participant or the content share bigger with pinch-to-zoom and real-time panning.

Chat with other participants during the meeting.

View the list of participants, including which participants are guests.

Enjoy in-call device controls such as:

Muting your microphone and camera.

Flipping to use the front-facing or rear-facing camera.

Reconnect automatically in transient network conditions.

Dial out to SIP/H.323 endpoints and invite them into your Vidyo meeting:

To initiate a SIP/H.323 endpoint dial-out call, simply click the button and enter the SIP dial string or the IP address of the H.323 endpoint.

Search for your meeting rooms:

If your organization has an on-premises portal, personal rooms are available by default.

If your organization subscribes to the cloud service, contact Vidyo Support if you would like to enable the personal rooms feature.
